A trip to Melbourne will certainly tickle your fancy. After tired trips to the same old places, you’ll be heading out on a journey for an adventure that is certain to provide a lifetime of memories. Sure, you’ll want to eat at restaurants and visit attractions, but how can you really enjoy this locale in a creative manner?
Here are Seven Creative Ways to Enjoy Melbourne ::
An Animal Search
Melbourne is home to an array of species that you likely won’t see in your every day life. Bring a list of animals with you, and as you see each one, take a picture of it and mark it off the list.
Real Time Scrapbook
Have you ever made a scrapbook before? Instead of waiting until the trip is over, make a scrapbook as you go along. If you find a beautiful leaf or flower, press it into the book. Make daily journal entries that chronicle all of the adventures you have on your trip. You’ll get such an authentic sense of emotion.
Aboriginal Victoria
When you’re on a trip to Melbourne, you absolutely must make a visit to Aboriginal Victoria. You’ll feel as though you’ve been taken back in time on a beautiful and inspirational journey through customs, beliefs and practices that have long since faded in other parts of the world.
Sounds of Melbourne
When you go on a trip, don’t all of your senses work together to provide the complete experience? Consider bringing a sound recorder with you on this journey. A phone could work, but doing so might considerably drain your battery. As you’re putting together the scrapbook, allow the tape to take you back to the beautiful sites you saw on the trip. Just having the noise surround you can make you feel as though you’re back there.
To The Coast
As you are journeying through Melbourne, be sure to head to the coast where you can see the wondrous rocks known as the 12 Apostles. If it’s possible, consider doing some rubbings of these rocks. Of course, you’ll want to check if this is permitted first. You don’t want to ruin their natural splendor.
Be Inspired
What’s a better way to get your own creative juices flowing than to visit places inspired by other creative greats? This area is full of art museums, so go and check out the works of other people. While you’re there, allow yourself time to truly reflect on the piece and consider how they affect your mood.
A Virtual Tour
Sometimes, it simply isn’t possible to visit all of the places in the world that you wish. Visit a Melbourne tourism website, and find pictures of beautiful areas. Create a dream board, and one day you might find yourself going on a trip there.
Going on a trip, or dreaming of a trip, is something that a lot of people want to do. However, you don’t want it to be boring. Use these creative ways to add some extra spice to your Melbourne expedition and vacation travel adventure.
